Generation of Accurate Hybrid Datasets for Quantitative Molecular Imaging
24 Jun 20
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions readable and executable by an imaging workstation (14) including at least one electronic processor (16) to perform a dataset generation method (100) operating on emission imaging data acquired of a patient for one or more axial frames at a corresponding one or more bed positions, the method comprising: (a) identifying a frame of interest from the one or more axial frames; (b) generating simulated lesion data by simulating emission imaging data for the frame of interest of at least one simulated lesion placed in the frame of interest; (c) generating simulated frame emission imaging data by simulating emission imaging data for the frame of interest of the patient; (d) determining a normalization factor comprising a ratio of the value of a quantitative metric for the simulated patient data and the value of the quantitative metric for the emission imaging data acquired of the same patient for the frame of interest; and (e) generating a hybrid data set comprising the emission imaging data acquired of the patient for the one or more axial frames at the corresponding one or more bed positions with the frame of interest replaced by a combination of the simulated lesion data scaled by the normalization factor and the emission imaging data acquired of the patient for the frame of interest.

Hair Stying Device
17 Jun 20
In a hair styling device (20) comprising a heat source (21, 23) for heating hair by conduction via direct contact between a hair contact surface of the heat source (21, 23) and the hair, and an optical radiation source (21) for—in combination with heat from the heat source (21, 23)—heating the hair to a temperature sufficiently high for hair styling by absorption of optical radiation by the hair, the heat source (21, 23) obtains heat from energy provided by the optical radiation source (21), and in a preferred embodiment, only from the optical radiation source (21).
